I know, so does my EEEpc. But I used Unetbootin (a package that is available in Fedora (yum install unetbootin).

For some reason, a USB flash drive created with unetbootin and containing CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso didn't boot on my Acer Aspire One. I got a boot: prompt and no matter what I typed I kept getting "Can't find linux" "can't find centos" "cant find... whatever I typed

So I gave up.

I purchased an external DVD drive, which will in all likelihood come in handy for some other stuff anyway.

CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso burned onto a CD booted fine with the external DVD drive and I installed Centos 5.4 on my Acer Aspire One late this afternoon.
